Acts 14:14 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 14:14

Which when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of
As they quickly did, such a multitude being about the doors of the house, where they were: it may be observed, that Barnabas is here called an apostle, as in ( Acts 14:4 ) and is placed before Paul, not as being greater than he, but because of the opinion these Heathens had of him: they rent their clothes; as the Jews did, and were obliged to do, when they heard any blasphemy; (See Gill on Matthew 26:65).

And ran in among the people;
in great haste, showing great concern of mind, and much indignation and resentment, at what they were about to do:

crying out;
aloud, and with great vehemence, that all might hear, and to express the greater dislike of the action.

12 sacerdos quoque Iovis qui erat ante civitatem tauros et coronas ante ianuas adferens cum populis volebat sacrificare

13 quod ubi audierunt apostoli Barnabas et Paulus conscissis tunicis suis exilierunt in turbas clamantes

14 et dicentes viri quid haec facitis et nos mortales sumus similes vobis homines adnuntiantes vobis ab his vanis converti ad Deum vivum qui fecit caelum et terram et mare et omnia quae in eis sunt

15 qui in praeteritis generationibus dimisit omnes gentes ingredi in vias suas

16 et quidem non sine testimonio semet ipsum reliquit benefaciens de caelo dans pluvias et tempora fructifera implens cibo et laetitia corda vestra
